Hi everyone,

I'm doing research on cloud environmental impacts and discovered your tool.

First let me congratulate everyone who contributes to this awesome project. I think it's an important step toward global transparency.

I went throught your methodology and wondered how you got your estimation of average PUE for Microsoft Azure. I did some research only and didn't find much on this subject (either outdated or limited information).

I was wondering if you could help me on this question.

Thanks for your time,
Lucas Basso

Hi Lucas, 

Microsoft's sustainability team provided us with a statement as to their PUE, which you can read in this section of the methodology.

We decided to select their weighted owned and operated fleet-wide PUE trailing 12-month average of 1.185.

Hoping that helps,

Dan
